Ken Jacob water bottles at a campaign event

A tub full of water bottles covered in Ken Jacob stickers sits in the Elkin Shelter at the Hallsville Fairgrounds during a hog roast event. Ken Jacob, who served in the Missouri House of Representatives from 1983 to 1996, is the Democratic candidate for state representative in the 44th District. Jacob’s son, mother, sister and nephew also attended the event to show their support Sept. 25.
